Mismatch repair (MMR) genes play a fundamental role in the correction of replication errors, leading to cancer development when mutated. In order to test the hypothesis that the MMR system was compromised in the initiation and progression of breast cancer, we used an in vitro-in vivo model for analyzing the mRNA levels of the MMR genes hMLH1, hMSH2, hPMS1, hPMS2 and hMSH6. MCF-10F, immortalized human breast...
